Want more ideas? Talk to Dr. Bruce Scranton.
Dr. Scranton has a B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. in mathematics. Prior to coming to Emmanuel, he used his mathematics education in a variety of ways. He started his career in a mathematics research and development firm, creating algorithms and software to assist in search for moving targets, for example, people lost at sea or submarines. While at GE he led the design and testing of optimal daily mission planning and scheduling algorithms for systems valued at over $1 billion per year. At Lockheed Martin he was the deputy program manager responsible for the detailed design of a $356 million global enterprise corporate information factory. Just before coming to Emmanuel, he was the program manager of the CDC’s BioSense Data Provisioning contract, which installed software and hardware at large emergency care hospitals to begin collecting information on bioterrorism and pandemic flu. The director of the CDC committed to Congress and the Secretary of Health and Human Services that 10 cities would be online in five months (by year's end), a task that contacts at CDC did not believe would happen in a year. “Relentless BioSense Team Meets 'Impossible' Deadline" came true when the tenth city came online before the end of that year.
